IMPROVEMENT IN TARGETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 208,910, dated October 15, 1878; application led September 19, 1878.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM KHN, of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements on a Target; and I do hereby declare that the following description of my said invention, taken in connection with the accompanying sheet of drawing, forms a full, clear, and exact specification, which will enable other skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

rIhis invention refers in general to improvements on toy shooting-targets 5 and it consists in the peculiar arrangement of parts and details of construction, as hereinafter first fully in the claim.

In the drawing heretofore mentioned, the figure is an elevation, parts being shown in section, of my improved target.

The object of this invention is the production of a shooting-target, which is to be placed upon a pole and shot at with guns, sticks, stones, clubs, Src., said target being made of various removable pieces, to be separately aimed at and removed from the main body. 'Io this end it consists of a body, A, being the representation of an eagle or other bird, made of wood on account of cheapness, and removably fixed to the end of a pole, B. The legs C of this body, which are obliqnely arranged, have on their ends tapering sockets D, into which are fitted the correspondingly-shaped shanks E of the windmill F on one side, and the crown G, headed or capped by a smaller claim as new and desire to secure to me by aV patent of the United States- As an improved article of manufacture, the within-describedv separable target, consisting of the elevated body A, with the obliquely-arranged legs C, having the tapering sockets D, the windmill F, fixed to said legs C by the tapering tenon E, the crown G, with the elevated bird H, and the staff I, supporting the figure J, the whole being constructed and ar ranged substantially in the manner as and for the use and purpose specied.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have hereto set my hand and affixed my seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
